9 Reasons Fantastic Four Is A Fantastic Fail

9. Ugly Character Designs

What the hell are those plates on Johnny's torso? Why does Reed look like he's about to break into the Pentagon? What's with Sue's short sleeves? Why does Ben have no pants (not to mention his lack of a little Thing)?

The Fantastic Four's costumes are among the easiest to design for a film. They're blue and black jumpsuits with the 4 logo on them. Why is that so hard to translate?

I get that they wanted something a bit more sci-fi and less superheroic, but why? To make a movie about a group of people who travel to an alternate dimension and gain superhuman powers more realistic? The government relying on a think tank of teenagers and a kid building an inter-dimensional portal that has stumped experts pretty much ended any concept of realism in this movie.

But as ugly as the costumes worn by the team are, nothing can compare to how awful Doom's look is. It's like they just threw some plaster on him and filled in the spots where it cracked with fluorescent green paint. I defy anyone to watch Doom's rampage through the Baxter Building and try not to laugh at how ridiculous he looks. 

Once more, Doom's look is simple. You don't even need the tunic if you're worried about people confusing it with a skirt. Give him green robes instead, like Magneto in the X-Men films.
